In the forty-fifth year of Wanli, Li Hongyu unexpectedly became the eldest son of the third eldest son of a local wealthy family. He was supposed to enjoy all the glory and wealth, but unexpectedly, the properties in his name were successively occupied by the clan leader. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also fell into internal and external troubles. The wars outside the customs and the party disputes in the capital caused the Ming Empire to gradually decline. For the sake of the world, as well as for himself and the people around him, the protagonist decides to embark on an official career. But first, he must fight back and take back the property occupied by the patriarch.

Although he is not a gentleman, he is more popular among the people than an upright official, and the people all praise him. Although he is gentle and gentle in dealing with things, he is more cunning than a corrupt official and plays tricks on his opponents. Although he never formed a party for personal gain, he was more knowledgeable than his cronies, so he made friends all over the court. He fought against powerful ministers, punished corrupt officials, encouraged farming and mulberry cultivation, and encouraged industry and commerce. He dealt with ministers, nobles, and the inner court with ease, and his status was aloof. He started from a small seventh-level magistrate, worked step by step, fought steadily, and finally ruled the world through ups and downs. He was both civil and military, opened up territories, and surrendered to all barbarians, creating a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.
